		<title>Unable to Start Debugging</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imagine my chagrin when Microsoft Visual Studio prompts me with this somewhat cryptic error message:


This is fairly ambiguous. My initial impression is there may be something wrong with my Visual Studio installation. Testing on another system shows that everything will work as expected for this project, so the solution is fine.

		<description><![CDATA[While the cost of storage has been in free-fall for as long as the PC has been on the desk, the principals behind storage have remained fundamentally the same. In most cases, personal storage is directly connected to your workstation and in networked environments a NAS or fileshare provides addressable storage over the WAN. Unfortunately, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Open Source for Sale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The reality of open source is that it in fact predates commercial software, when computers became available around 1945 the primary mode of software development was extremely collaborative. People learned how to program working for computer manufacturers who didn&#8217;t see any benefit to the commercialization of the software. Why is it that today the commercial [...]]]></description>

		<title>Losing the Windows Network Client</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently following an unrelated upgrade to my VirtualBox client, one of my host VM&#8217;s started exhibiting unusual behavior. While it was possible to retrieve directory listings from a UNC path, any attempt to map a drive would result in a standard although somewhat generic error message.

System error 67 has occurred.

		<title>Running With Forks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The browser war has temporarily been placed on hold in favor of a simultaneous application war. It appears that a Vista user can run maybe 100 applications at a time, and on OS X you are likely to get only a mere 150 applications into your dock. Of course, on Linux you can run even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Working With Wine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since my last post, and during that time I have been busy playing some computer games that I haven&#8217;t looked at in a while.

		<title>Network Dependency</title>
